I was pretty careless with lawn equipment as a kid, too. Managed to nail a stump hidden in some thick grass with my dad's lawnmower, which did it in. He'd have probably been more pissed about that, but it was 20 years old, rusting pretty badly, and a bitch to start. Sliced through at least two extension cords with hedge trimmers. One of them was my grandfather's ancient, two-wire cord, which threw up a nice shower of sparks and blew the fuse in the house. I was probably lucky to survive that one.
